(NEWSER) – Drivers in Iowa who rolled down their window to give a few bucks to a homeless guy asking for help on Christmas Eve got a surprise gift in return. The "homeless" man was actually Des Moines business owner Jonnie Wright, and he gave his donors a sealed envelope with either a $10 or $100 bill inside along with a note, reportsKCCI-TV. "I am not homeless or destitute or without a job," it read."I am here to give thanks for the many blessings in my life by paying them forward and honoring you and others who give."
